(Newswire.net -- February 2, 2017) Burlington, MA -- Very few topics are as loaded as when it comes to the enormous costs of unsuccessful research and development projects. According to the Economist, the greatest controversy of the pharmaceuticals industry comes exactly from the fact that the cost of a new drug also includes the numerous attempts which failed to win approval, and the associated funds consumed by the Research and Development department. The road to a drug’s approval is filled with casualties, one example being the $800m that Pfizer blew on torcetrapib, a potential treatment for high cholesterol that the company gave up in 2006. But according to many, the skeptical attitude towards the startlingly high estimates for drug-development is justified. Even Sir Andrew Witty, the director of GlaxoSmithKline, one of the largest drug makers, said that even a low figure such as $1 billion is a 'myth' which could be broken if the R&D staff simply stopped failing so much.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects with unique identity that are connected through the Internet. These objects can sense internal states or the external environment and communicate. The IoT is considered to be the third wave of internet that is expected to generate over $11 Trillion market by 2025. The high new market creation potential of the IoT leads to huge investments in IoT innovation R&D to produce new technologies, products, and services.

This is why there is a rising demand for companies which offer a specific tailored type of consultancy for providing successful cost-effective IoT innovation R&D strategy.
